Verification using gnutls-verify-error is currently an either-or
proposition: if the verification fails, there's no fallback. Typical
browser implementations allow querying the user for the desired
action, emacs should allow something similar.
Bonus: allow updating gnutls-verify-error automatically based on the
user's response

Isn't that what NSM is about?

NSM doesn't currently come into play until gnutls.c has finished
setting up the TLS connection. Since gnutls.c is the one doing the
verification, by then it's too late.

Umm, nevermind. I hadn't realized nsm already implemented these
checks. Closing.
